No Satellite A30-514 have WLAN or not?

My A30 seems to have a Wlan switch on the side, what ideology turns on when you press the power button. I heard that he is a loser, and the laptop doesn't have these features, and it doesn't appear in device mananger. If this is the case, the manual is WRONG in saying that the WLAN switch is available only on laptops with WIFI.

Is it possible to install this setup in Windows?
Thanks for reading

Hello

As far as I know that the wireless LAN card is optional on this unit.
In this case, the unit has been delivered without Wireless LAN card, but you can upgrade the laptop with a compatible WLan card.
Usually, you should find a WLan card plug at the bottom of the unit.
Contact Toshiba service partner to order the Wlan card compatible

Good bye

  • DVD player does not recognize some media on Satellite A30-514

    I own a laptop Satellite A30-514 with Microsoft xp OS. For some time, some DVD (no games) will not play of the drive. some other not. It is not a problem of region - they are all region 2. Windows does not read the disc when inserted and does not record a disc in the drive when I show 'my computer '. CD is the game normally. This could be a (internal) driver problem or my CD DVD combo is all just too old now?

    Thank you, Mary.

    Hello

    To give you a precise answer, it will be interesting to know what DVD is not readable. Meaning of the word "media" is in general and not helpful to understand the problem.

    Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, and it is possible that the WEIRD feature is not good more. You can try to clean the lens.

  • Re: Sound on Satellite A30-514 problems

    Hi all

    I recently bought a used Toshiba Satellite A30-514.
    I checked and got everything works except the sound and wireless WLAN. I learned that with the wireless, there is no card so that I hope that the problem has been resolved.

    Now to the sound issue.
    I checked all the way through the sound settings, try the things usual e.g uninstall Realtec AC97 audio and sourcing the driver on the Toshiba site and install again, although when 80% through it causes an error while it just goes right to 100%.
    In the Device Manager it happens now with the yellow exclamation point and the properties now show that this device cannot start (code 10) location: PCI bus 0, device 31, function 5.
    It comes up with no device in the sounds and audio devices.
    I tried upgrading the bios (already the most recent) and tried to uninstall and reinstall, but does not work on anything!

    Please someone help ive spend a whole day faced with my brain, but nothing helps, I hope that someone had the same problem and knows more to help, I will be much appreciated if you can help.
    Thanks in advance guys!

  • Satellite A30-514 looks very dead

    Satellite A30-514 friend is sitting right here in front of me:

    1. the switch does nothing; push or pressed.
    2. every six seconds a motor turns for a second
    3. in the six second gaps the disk and CD lights flashing briefly, and there is a slight click
    4. then the disk and CD lights flashing just until the engine is running
    5. the screen shows nothing
    6. I tried to get to the BIOS (ESC, F1, F2, Del, F12) - nothing.
    7. a bootable CD in the drive does nothing.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you, Tom

    In my view, there is nothing that you can do it alone. The laptop must be verified with special diagnostics tools. Ask your friend did it last days with this laptop.

    Maybe update the BIOS?

  • Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    Hello

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
    Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

  • Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

    Thank you

    Hi dimation,

    It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

    In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

  • Satellite A30: Cannot activate WLan miniPCI card

    Have installed Intel Pro 220bg in my Satellite A30. I can't do the wireless to turn on. The switch on the side of the computer does nothing also tried fn + F8. Still nothing happens.

    Hello

    First of all it is very important to know how you installed the WLan card and if it has been installed correctly.
    I remember to connect two cables; white cable by hand and Brown to the auxiliary voltage check then Device Manager if the card has been correctly recognized. You can use the driver from the Intel Web site.

    Then everything should work properly.

  • Satellite A30 - 404 - the fan does not work

    I have a Satellite A30-404 for a couple of years now, and recently I saw serious problems with my laptop.

    Let me start from the beginning:

    My laptop has been a few months, when he suddenly stopped, I contacted the helpline and they picked up the phone and fixed.
    Again, a few months later, it happens again and I call them, they tell me that the problem is caused by the dust accumulating on the radiator of the laptop.
    I used a vacuum among fans to clean dust.

    When I do that, indeed, there was a lot of dust coming out, so I made this process, I realized a few months and the laptop remained very well.

    A few months ago, when vacunuming the pc again once I heard something breaking and I soon realized that all the components of one of the fan where gone.

    Probably one of them broke and since it had to be rotated at high speed he stopped and beat all the others. So I had 2 broken fans 1. I realized that in the long term that my processer could be destroyed because it did not good cooling. Since then the processer would become very hot and consumes much more energy than normal.

    Now, I also have the problem that whenever I turn on the pc it starts slowly draining battery (its plugged into the power supply). It's like I have a giant battery, the laptop power and eventually it will turn off. I also tried to boot the pc with no battery at all and it works very well for a while, but then it turned off suddenly. I try to turn on the pc and after 1 or 2 seconds it stops again. I don't know if its related to the fact that the processor is damaged boats.

    I talked to a lot of people in order to get the fixed fan but they say it can become very expensive since its hard getting the same fan. And by the way, when I work on the computer with only the battery that it depends on almost an hour

    Any suggestions? Help, please

    EDIT: I turned of the auto in hibernation when the battery is low to see what is happening, the energy of the battery indicates 0%, but the laptop stays on.

    Hello

    Well, you should be cautious if you use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. It is risky!
    Extra ball bearings might damage if the fans turn too fast.

    So if you have no experience with these procedures you should t do.
    The person with the experience as a technician workbook must clean the fans and cooling modules.

    I agree with Doomlord, and it seems that you need a new cooling module.

  • Satellite P300 - 19 p - WLan does not work

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Satellite P300 - 19 p and at home I had a connection to the LAN cable to go online but 2 days after purchase I flew to Africa for a year and now when I try to connect to the Internet wirelessly, I discover that the bleeding thing doesn't have a working wireless driver.

    I am really disappointed and frustrated, I installed drivers before and the Toshiba driver on drive C file shows a driver by Atheros wireless and I installed it but it will not appear on the Device Manager.
    I copied a driver realtek on a disk and loaded, it appeared on the Device Manager but wouldn't work, came up with the code 10 error?

    When I turn on wifi radar it keeps saying "the wireless network device is disabled. Please activate"- large just give me an idea how to!

    I can't connect my laptop to the internet and it smells just a waste of money and be out here is not anywhere I can take it to!

    Can someone offer help and why not the manual provided with the help of these things!

    Thanks in advance!

    > When I turn on wifi radar it keeps saying "the wireless network device is disabled. Please activate"- large just give me an idea how to!

    I think that this problem of WLan is not related to the missing driver, but on the fact that your WLan is not enabled!

    Then all first move the WLan switch on IT and then use the FN + F8 key combination to select the WiFi network!

    By the way; isn't your Atheros or Realtek but INTEL WLan card wireless network card!
    The driver can be found here:

  • Satellite A30-404: DVD player does not read some DVD

    Hello

    I have a satellite A30-404, and recently, I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD - ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here | http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 518 & langua ge = 33 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 28 & selectedLanguage = 33 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 46804 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42])

    Since then, I can't play some DVD I write, for the most part, the 4 GB DVD +, for example, I can perfectly read a 1, 3 GB DVD with 3 multisessions.

    However, other computers can read the DVD I can't.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Maybe the new firmware does contain all of the information on the DVD.
    Do you know what firmware is or what information it contains?

    The firmware of the drive contains simple information about the support that can be used, what burning/reading speed is supported, which average manufacturer is compatible, etc.

    Maybe the new firmware contains other information such as and therefore CD/DVD cannot be played correctly.
    I think in this case, you need to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn at a different rate.

    Hello

    I think it would be best if you try the realtek driver from the homepage of manufacturers (http://www.realtek.com.tw/). This driver should work no doubt, my machine gives sound without problems with only the drivers.
